    <description>To be a Christian is to be a student. The word “disciple” means “student”, and before he ascended to Heaven, Jesus’s final command to his students was that they should go into all the world and teach, making more students (Matthew 28:19-20). As Christians in the modern world, our calling is still to be students of Jesus and to help each other in fellowship as we learn about Him and from Him. We are to be Students of the Word, studying the Bible, the written word of God, as we walk as the disciples of Jesus, the living Word. 
My name is Corey Olsen, and I am hosting a Bible study open to anyone who would like to join me as a Student of the Word. Would you like to join me for a patient, thoughtful, and prayerful study of the Bible together, reading whole books verse by verse?

  <description>Let's look at the structure of John’s thought, where confessing Jesus as the Son of God and abiding in love frame the central truth: we have come to know and trust the love that God has in us. We examine how "God is love" forms the heart of this passage, connecting belief, love, and mutual abiding with God.

  <description>In this session, delve into the role of believers as witnesses testifying that "the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world." Through an examination of the Greek term "soter," we connect this to Old Testament patterns of deliverance, like Moses and the judges, and reflect on the world as both victim and villain in need of God’s transformative love.

  <description>In this episode, we dive into 1 John, paragraph 14, where John revisits the theme of seeing and testifying, echoing the epistle’s opening. He introduces the pivotal idea of Jesus as the "Savior of the world," connecting belief in the Son with abiding in God’s love. Through a deep exploration of the Greek, we uncover how God’s love is held within us, perfecting us as we become like Him in this world, preparing us to stand confidently on the day of judgment.
